FAQs about guest communication in CiiRUS

Guest messaging is the heart of hospitality. These FAQs cover how CiiRUS unifies inboxes, automates key touchpoints, and helps you deliver five-star communication without drowning in messages.

How can I manage Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct booking messages without logging into each channel?

The CiiRUS Unified Inbox consolidates guest conversations from all OTAs and your direct site into one dashboard. No more tab-hopping—you see everything in one place and reply instantly.

How do I automate guest messages without losing the personal touch?

With CiiRUS, you can schedule personalized templates for confirmations, check-in instructions, mid-stay check-ins, and review requests. Messages pull in guest and property details automatically, so they feel tailored rather than robotic.

What’s the easiest way to send arrival instructions to guests?

CiiRUS automatically sends guests their arrival details via email, text, or guest app. You can configure triggers so guests always receive the right info at the right time—no manual reminders needed.

How do I manage guest communication across different channels like email, SMS, and chat?

CiiRUS supports all three. Automated emails handle confirmations, SMS reaches guests quickly for time-sensitive info, and in-app chat offers two-way real-time communication when needed.

Can I send bulk marketing campaigns to past guests?

Yes. With the built-in CRM, you can segment your guest database and send promotional emails to encourage repeat bookings—helping you reduce reliance on OTAs.

How do I prevent missed messages that could hurt guest reviews?

The Unified Inbox flags unread messages and can escalate overdue responses to your team. That way, no inquiry or guest request falls through the cracks.

Can I automate review requests after checkout?

Yes. CiiRUS can send friendly, automated follow-ups asking guests to leave reviews on Airbnb, Vrbo, or your website, boosting your online reputation.

How can I personalize communications for repeat guests?

The CRM tracks guest history, preferences, and notes, so you can greet them by name, remember their last stay, and recommend the right property—building loyalty over time.

How do I keep track of special requests from guests?

Notes and requests are logged within each reservation in CiiRUS, visible to your team. They can even trigger property care tasks, ensuring requests don’t get missed

Can I communicate with guests before they book?

Yes. Inquiries from Airbnb, Vrbo, and your direct site flow into the Unified Inbox, letting you answer pre-booking questions quickly and professionally.

How do I handle guest disputes or complaints through the system?

All guest communications are logged and time-stamped in CiiRUS, providing a full record that helps managers resolve disputes and protect against chargebacks.

How do guest apps improve communication?

Guests can log into your branded app to view reservation details, arrival instructions, property info, and even send messages—reducing last-minute calls and texts.

Can multiple staff members use the inbox without confusion?

Yes. Messages can be assigned to staff or departments, ensuring accountability. The system shows who responded last, so guests never get duplicate or missed replies.

How do I keep communications professional across my team?

By using pre-approved templates and rules in CiiRUS, you ensure consistency in tone and accuracy, even when multiple staff are replying to guests.

How can I reduce the workload of constant messaging while still keeping guests happy?

Automation handles the repetitive touchpoints (confirmations, reminders, checkout instructions) while staff focus on personalizing interactions where it really counts.

Does guest communication integrate with property care tasks?

Yes. If a guest reports an issue (like a broken appliance), it can be logged as a task for your property care team, ensuring a seamless loop between guests and operations.

How do I ensure guests get updates if something changes mid-stay?

Managers can push real-time updates to guests via SMS or app notifications, so they’re always informed of changes like pool closures or late check-outs.
